I think the rumors of Texas wanting him were over blown.  However, if he did choose LSU over Texas it may be because LSU probably has better talent.   Their defense is very good and if he can find a quarterback they could improve immediately.

And he wouldn't have to put up with Texas boosters.  Take that job and the leeches start draining you immediately.  I'd take the lsu job too.

Make no mistake, coaches see LSU as the better job.  

Better conference.  Winning in the SEC guarantees a playoff berth, winning in the Big XII only guarantees a berth if you are perfect.  

Texas vastly overrates where they currently stand in the CFB world.  This isn't the 50's where they are among the four or five teams that are allowed to play for titles.  They're not even one of the big dogs in their own watered down conference.

During the LSU/Aggie game, the ticker reported the original source as HornsDigest.com, then confirmed by Chris something (?) at ESPN. I'm not saying the negotiations aren't happening-- they very well may be-- but I did think the original source of the report/rumor was suspect.

I just hope if he leaves, he does it quickly. Rips off the band-aid and goes. We'll need to replace him and move on. We've been here before.

I would guess when you are at this level of coaching you believe “your” plan can win wherever you go. As much as many here hate UT, if you honestly look at the area (Austin and Texas) and the budget (top 1 or 2 in college football??) you have it easy to understand why this is considered one of the top “potential” jobs. It all depends on the person.

Well, when interviewed prior to the game, Herman said that there is no truth to the rumors and called them false. We'll see.

Actually when he was asked if he could deny that his agents are talking to anyone he refused to answer the question.

Pretty sure he is gone, at this point he is figuring out where and for how much.  UH has some deep pockets but they can't offer him an easy path to the CFP.   UT and LSU can.  If either one of those schools was 9-2 they would be in right now.  UH being 9-2 gets a #20 ranking.

Oklahoma id 9-2 and not in right now...they're #8 behind TWO teams from the Big Ten that have 2 losses

If he wants to get into the playoff without having to go undefeared he better avoid the Big XII

Before he refused to answer whether his agent was talking with any other schools on his behalf, the reporter asked him if he could deny that the rumors of him leaving were true. I don't remember how it was phrased exactly, and I can't rewind back that far on my dvr, but Herman's answer was essentially that he was denying that the rumors of him leaving are true. During the game, a statement from the UH AD was displayed, reading that UH has not been informed of Herman's departure. And we apparently offered him a 7-figure raise a few days ago.

The press doesn't know, UH doesn't know, Herman won't talk, everybody in the country is speculating wildly. This is why I won't believe the hype at this point until I see an official press release. Too many chickens are running around crying that the sky is falling.

I think UT has more pull than OU.  I don't believe for a second that the name of a university doesn't hold sway over the committee.

Yes he denied those rumors.  Not that his agent was handling active offers.  This is almost exactly what Sumlin said before he left.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Here's what the conference tournament would look like if it started today. Finished 2nd or 3rd is the difference between having to win just two games in two days, or four games in four days. Wednesday, May 8 - First Round Game 1: No. 5 Wichita State vs No. 8 South Florida - 10 a.m. (ESPN+) Game 2: No. 4 Tulsa vs No. 9 UTSA - 1 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 3: No. 6 UAB vs No. 7 East Carolina - 4 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 4: No. 10 Memphis vs No. 3 North Texas - 7 p.m. (ESPN+) Thursday, May 9 - Second Round Game 5: Winner WSU/USF vs Winner Tulsa/UTSA - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 6: Winner UAB/ECU vs Winner Memphis/UNT - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Friday, May 10 - Semifinals Game 7: Winner WSU/USF/Tulsa/UTSA vs No. 1 FAU - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 8: Winner UAB/ECU/Memphis/UNT vs No. 2 Charlotte - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Saturday, May 11 - Championship Game 9: Winner Game 7 vs Winner Game 8 - 11 a.m. (ESPN2)

      Yes, win 2 of 3 in Charlotte and should be at least Top 2. If we do that and there's a three-way tie for first at 19-8, I'd imagine we'd take the top spot because we'd be 4-2 vs. the field, FAU 3-3, and Charlotte 2-4 in that hypothetical. Thanks! Wasn't able to watch that game, just kept up on Twitter.

      Regardless of what happens tomorrow.....we need to win 2 of 3 in Charlotte....right? As to backup catcher Moffitt......in our last game at Memphis....she tripped over first base....and fell on her wrist. I'm guessing it's a sprained wrist. As to backup catcher....I don't think we have one. But they used Olguin to warm up people in the bullpen. And remember on Kalei....she had to catch 16 innings last night.....and today's game was early. So might just be gassed. Go Mean Green!!!

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      I missed the first inning but good to see Childers back in and getting some momentum. She retired the first eight batters she faced, striking out five or six but then unfortunately walked the bases loaded with two outs. After a wild pitch scored one, #29 for the Shockers hit her 18th homer of the year to put WSU up 4-0 on only 1 hit. The same freshman pitcher for the Shockers that was perfect through 4.2 last night started today and had a no-hitter through 4.2 again. Unfortunately this time she did not break. Wagoner had the last four innings and pitched well until WSU got some insurance runs off of her in the 7th. I hope Childers can get back in a rhythm. Gonna be tough to go to Charlotte with 1st place still on the line with only two reliable pitchers. Another thing I noticed this weekend was that Kalei seems to be a little slow going after those wild pitches. Obviously the first run of the day scored on that. We didn't even get a throwback to contest. I wonder if she's hurt. Backup catcher Moffitt was in a sling this weekend, I wonder what happened to her. I don't know if we have a third catcher on staff. Charlotte and FAU both won today, so they're 17-6 and we're 17-7. Would be nice if USF and UAB did us a favor and won tomorrow so we'd be tied for first heading into the final weekend. Seems UAB wins when we need them to lose, and vice versa. I just want a top two seed so we only have to win two games to take the conference title. I'm really tempted to go ahead and request Friday the 10th off so I can head up to Wichita.

      Any free agent signings?

      Gabriel Murphy to Vikings & Grayson Murphy to Dolphins. Noah Rauschenberg got an invite to Chiefs rookie camp.
